One Solutions Supplier for all your needs

Ultimate Solutions summarizes the success of the Master Service Agreement (MSA) at Ethicon one year after implementation. March 2021 to March 2022
Our client had many different suppliers and many purchase orders to cover all the engineering contractor needs. Imagine having 30 contractors with 30 SOWs, 30 purchase orders and seven different suppliers covering all these needs. Ultimate Solutions has provided a single supplier solution to cover all these needs under one purchase order and one solution. This single supplier solution has simplified the acquisition of engineering contractor talent reducing the complexity of long bureaucratic on boarding processes.

THE CHALLENGES:

  • Bidding Process in order to be selected as the preferred vendor for our client Ethicon.
  • Comply with the billing rates and budget.
  • The client needed a tool to report the applicable KPIs to monitor the progress of the resources and planning of their business needs.

OUR SOLUTIONS

Ultimate Solutions developed a website to report and monitor all the KPIS that the client requested. In addition, one purchase order covers all the contractor needs and the on boarding process is performed in an expedite manner to have the resource on site with all the required background checks and applicable documentation. On boarding timeline was reduced from 3-6 months to an average of 2 weeks.

SUCCESSFUL RESULTS FOR THE CLIENT:
